Matthew "Matt" O'Halloran (born November 18, 1982) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Sleaford Town.

Career

O'Halloran began his professional football career with Derby County in 2000 but failed to make an impact and never went on to feature for the club's first team. Grimsby Town were linked with a move for O'Halloran in May 2003 and he spent 3 weeks on trial with the club.[1] He signed for Oldham Athletic on a non-contract basis at the start of the 2003–04 season, which was extended for another month in September 2003.[2] He signed for Boston United in August 2004.[3]

O'Halloran signed for King's Lynn in March 2005.[4] He re-signed for Boston in August 2007.[5] He was offered a new contract by manager Tommy Taylor but instead chose to sign for Corby Town. He left Corby at the end of the 2008–09 season and joined Lincoln United alongside former Boston and King's Lynn teammate Steve Melton. In October 2010, he joined Lincoln Moorlands Railway.[6] O'Halloran retired from competitive football after leaving Moorlands in 2010, but came out of retirement at the start of the 2013–2014 season having rejoined Lincoln United.[7]
